Importing objects with custom fields specified by name instead of id?

[dpotter-intoto]

I'd like to import a bunch of ipam.prefix objects, but my netbox data model for a prefix includes an optional custom field to a dcim.device object named cf_associated_switch.

Is it possible for me to perform a file import (CSV/JSON/YAML) of these prefix objects with the cf_associated_switch field specified by device name instead of by device id?

It should be possible to do with CSV but currently not with JSON/YAML. Try:

cf_associated_switch.name
